About Architects
An architect designs buildings, extensions and renovations - turning your ideas into detailed plans that meet building regulations and planning requirements.
Whether you're planning a new build, converting a barn or adding an extension, an architect will manage the design process from initial sketches through to construction drawings.
In Scotland, look for an architect registered with the Architects Registration Board (ARB) and ideally chartered with the Royal Incorporation of Architects in Scotland (RIAS).

About East Renfrewshire
East Renfrewshire is a compact council area on the southern edge of Glasgow, stretching from the suburban communities of Giffnock and Clarkston southward through Newton Mearns to the rural uplands around Eaglesham and Neilston.
The area consistently ranks among the highest in Scotland for school attainment and quality of life, making it one of the most sought-after places to live in the Glasgow area. Giffnock, Newton Mearns and Clarkston are particularly popular with families drawn to the schools, green spaces and village-style high streets that give the area a distinct character despite its proximity to the city.
Barrhead is the largest town by population and has a more industrial heritage than the leafy eastern suburbs, with a character rooted in textile manufacturing and engineering. Neilston and Eaglesham, further south, are attractive conservation villages surrounded by open countryside and farmland that stretches toward the Renfrewshire Heights.
The economy is largely residential, with many residents commuting to Glasgow for work. Rail services from Giffnock, Clarkston, Newton Mearns, Barrhead and Neilston connect to Glasgow Central, most journeys taking under 20 minutes. The M77 motorway runs through the western side of the area, providing fast road access to the city centre and south toward Ayrshire.
East Renfrewshire combines the convenience of a city-edge location with a strong sense of local community. Its towns and villages have their own shops, parks and social life and the Whitelee Windfarm on the southern boundary - one of the largest onshore windfarms in Europe - offers miles of walking and cycling trails with views across the central belt.
